The lining enablesthe head 18 to obtain a firm grip on the head on the winding stem of awatch when the key is used to Wind the watch, while the spring 19 servesto force the watch firmly against the lip 9.

The end of the shank 17 which extends beyond the closed end 15 of thehousing 1% is provided with an operating head 20. Through the abovedescribed manner of connecting the winding key 16 with the front section3 of the casing, it will be seen that the spring 19 not only serves tofrictionally engage the head 18 with the winding stem of a watch butenables .the shank of the Wind ing key to be adjusted within the housing14 so that watches which difier in size in diameter may be retainedwithin the casing and held therein when the holder is open by theWinding key and lip 9.

The back section 1 of the casing has secured thereto a strip of materialwhich is bent to form a hook 21 by means of which the watch holder maybe secured to a belt or the like.

In order that the watch holder ma be connected with an outer garment,the back section 4 has pivotall connected therewith one end of a pin 22,t e other end of which is adapted to be brought into engagement with akeeper 23 on the back section thus enabling the watch holder to bequickly and easily connected with or removed from an outer garment, orthe like, when desired.
